August favorites

I have the great idea (although not very original, I must admit) of talk about my favorite things of the month, which clothing item I wore the most, which product saved me from a bad hair day and that kind of stuff, but because we know not everything in life is fashion I decided to include random things like books, music, recipes and basically anything.

I really don’t have the patience nor the talent to style my hair, because of that I’ve never been the kind of girl who spends on expensive hair products and tools, but my old flat iron died a few days ago and instead of buying the same one I looked for something different, I found very good reviews of a flat iron called Remington Pearl Pro which is not expensive at all and I truly love it.

My hair is kind of straight, but it has so much frizz that it hardly stays on its place. With this flat iron it’s like having your bratty mascot being trained, it’s really cool that it’s ready to use at the chosen temperature in like 15 seconds and with results I only had when I visited a beauty salon. Anyway, I recommend it if you want a very good flat iron without spending too much, you can find it on Drugstore.com and Walgreens (online only) for $32.

In fashion I think the floral tulip structured skirt from Zara is the winner; goes amazing with everything from a white t-shirt to a denim shirt, creates a very feminine silhouette and it doesn’t lift up with the wind. Sadly this baby is sold out.

This product is mexican and it’s been perfect because when weather starts to change my skin also does. I have dry skin on a few zones, especially underneath my eyes, I started to apply a product that Dharmalife sent me a few months ago and I noticed a great improvement, no more dry skin nor ugly texture. It’s called Collagen Cream Contornum and it’s available online.

There’s something that has been bringing my friends’ attention when we go out for lunch, even if you’re not supposed to bring out your cell phone at the table I really can’t help it (and they neither) and it’s the iPhone case from Casetagram. Their slogan says it all: Shoot it. Place it. Case it. It’s a service to make your own custom iPhone cases from your Instagram photos, you can make your own design and frame memories in something you carry with you all day, it’s like those wallets with a photo compartment. They also have iPad cases in case you’re not a fan of iPhone.
